Losing to Ga. and Fla. at least. Plus our 'close' scores didn't help. We went from the big dance to the sock hop. So put in JJ this week and next. Southern justice if JJ beats Saban. Oh, the irony of it all. If he runs better than Hatch (he does)and passes as good as if not better than JL, why wait til next year ? We need to win out this year------quit saving our aces--whatever helps us, we need to use-geaux JJ

He's not an ace. For Christ's sake, we just crown players before they step on the field.

Lee is the future. He will be much better than Jefferson. Get over it.

he will not supplant Lee!

Lee helped us put up 38 points last week lest we forget...

Jefferson can offer the change of pace, but Lee is still a VERY capable quarterback.

Not really. The money is put into a pool by the SEC. Vandy gets the same cut from the BCS as us.

I think the conference splits it up, so it doesn't really matter. What does matter is getting two SEC teams into BCS games. Look for lots of phantam calls in the 'Bama game.

We will never know for sure until he steps on the field. I am all for giving JJ a shot at some playing time this year just to see how he holds up under some live game pressure. JJ might actually be better than advertised, but we won't know for sure unless Miles play him.

We lost $0 by losing to Georgia and Florida in terms of bowl money.

Lee is our best QB, with the most experience,

I thought at the beginning of the yr RP really fricked us over, but IMO it doesn't matter who the QB is, our defense can't stop anything.

Not quite. It's split 14 ways. 12 SEC teams, 1 for the office, and 1 more for the team in the bowl. So we essentially get double what every other team gets, which amounts to one 7th of the total amount.

Yea but when he steps on the field and bombs, then everyone will be saying that he needs more time to adjust, he needs to learn, etc. Basically all of the same things people say about Lee. It's a cycle. The backup (or even the third string now) is the best QB.

Lee will be good. Just wait.

I love when people come on here and make a completely retarded statement then never post in that thread again. Come back and admit you made a mistake.

The bowl money goes into a pool and is divided equally among the SEc teams. Believe me, LSU has added more than their fair share to the pot over the last decade.

Since we are not yet bowl eligible, we have not lost any money.
